I'm 36 years old.

- That i don't need to fake my age when I create myself as coach in Football Manager as my real one looked too young for a coach.

- That most of pro sport players are too old to keep playing and usually retire at my age, when i feel i'm stronger and healthier than ever and i reurned to play organized soccer past year.

Just remember, all we have to do is get Miami moved into the AL, and all the pieces are in place for the Cubs to win the World Series in 2015.

At which point I'll celebrate on my hoverboard.

Was asked by a teenage girl yesterday to help her buy spray paint because they won't sell it to anybody under 18 without a parent.

So after checking out she says "See you later Dad." I replied "Say hi to your mom for me."

Then I get carded because I am buying canned air.

ESPN Classic was showing some classic Gary Carter games, like the last game of the the 1986 world series. I used to be a huge baseball fan but haven't been since the mid 90s, so the fact that I undoubtedly knew the names of those mid-80s players better than the current ones, sure made me feel old.

Remembering that Bruce Bochy was a backup catcher for the Padres. Ron Gardenhire was a so-so utility infielder. Mike Scoscia was a Dodger catcher, and so on and so on and so on.

Also, 1981, the strike shortened baseball season when Fernandomania ran wild and the Dodgers knocked off the Yankees in the Series, is as far away from now, as the end of WWII was when I was born. That's painful.

A quote from a UT football recruit that is a junior in high school:

Quote:

Noted Seals-Jones: "When I was little, I used to watch guys like Vince Young, Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin play for UT and I became a fan. I was looking for a school with great academics and great people to be around, and I saw that at Texas."

then I realized she in college

It could have been quite entertaining for us if you had stopped.

Either:

A. She goes off on you for thinking she needed you to wait with her because she is insulted.

B. She ridicules you for what she sees as a lame attempt by an old guy to pick her up.

C. She panics and calls the police.

D. She panics and pepper sprays you.

E. Dear penthouse forum...

Either way, it makes for a fun thread.

Jeerry Gaskill, drummer for KX, had a heart attack this weekend. My favorite band of all-time. This sucks. Looks like he's going to be OK, but apparently had to be given CPR. He's not even the oldest guy in the band, either. I'm getting old.

In no particular order

Remembering playing the first Pirates game on C-64 (and MULE, 7 Cities of Gold). Remembering playing the first Civ game (and other Microprose games)
Thinking about my first car, a hand me down red 77 Chevy Caprice
Seeing an old 300ZX (early 90's) parked and remembering that was the sports car I always wanted (the newer Z cars seem wide load heavy)
Once in a while, I read something in the news about the past ... thinking it was only x years but find out it was really much longer ago
I have Millennium kids on my team
Watching my kids grow up, they are both 10+ (wife and I were talking about how our lifestyle changed after they were born)

Although I haven't yet asked any of the young folks I know, I imagine that there's probably a whole generation of kids out there who have no idea what the Brady Bunch was.

I had a guy in at work ask me if I remember when the first Diablo came out.

Not only do I remember buying the first Diablo, but I bought it from the computer store that I worked at, and I remember the computer I played it on (Packard Bell Pentium 100mhz, 16mb ram, 1.6gb HD, 14.4k modem/sound card). This computer was a beast compared to the IBM XT I had before it.

Buccaneer · 05-27-2012, 01:07 PM

First computer game I played was in 1978 called Adventure (later Colossal Cave). Some of you remember that..."You are standing at the end of a road next to a building...". Since I was never into consoles (I wasn't a kid when they came out), I waited until SimCity came out 1988 to play my first real PC (Mac) game, and then it was mostly Microprose on the Mac for the next 6 years.
